Guided Story

Imagine standing here in ancient Mogontiacum, surrounded by bustling Roman citizens. Look around you, beneath your feet lies a story of gods and secret rites. Right in front of you are the remnants of walls that once enclosed the Sanctuary of Isis and Mater Magna. These walls were witnesses to the cults that shaped the rhythm of this city. Can you hear the hum of the Römerpassage? Back then, it was the whispers of prayers and the clinking of offerings. Picture this site being uncovered after centuries, almost miraculously. And all this, just a stone's throw from the Antonius Chapel.
